Abstract: Based on the landscape classification map interpreted by high-resolution QuickBird imagery,the landscape structure of Guigang City was analyzed.The results showed that the whole landscape was a typical mosaic of residential land,municipal public utility land,and industrial land.The Shannon diversity indices and fragmentation indices of the landscape were 5.1%~64.7% higher than those of the natural vegetation landscape,and the differences in shape complexity and fragmentation of key landscape elements were obvious.
